Negeri Sembilan State Secretary’s Office backs AGC view, says won’t gazette April 19 proclamation on ruler

The Negeri Sembilan government has decided against gazetting or enforcing the April 19, 2026 proclamation concerning the position of the Yang Dipertuan Besar, following the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) ruling declaring the proclamation invalid.

The AGC highlighted that the proclamation did not meet the constitutional requirements, and the state's Executive Council lacks the authority to make such declarations.

The Negeri Sembilan Dewan Keadilan dan Undang reaffirmed that Tuanku Muhriz remains the legitimate Yang Dipertuan Besar.

The state administration is consulting the State Legal Adviser to ensure compliance with constitutional law.

SEREMBAN, Sept 18 — The Negeri Sembilan government will not take any action to gazette or enforce the April 19, 2026 proclamation regarding the position of the Yang Dipertuan Besar, the Negeri Sembilan State Secretary’s (SUK) office said in a statement last night.

It said the decision aligned with the Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) ruling that the proclamation was invalid, rendering any gazettement unconstitutional.

It said the state government abided by the AGC’s view that members of the Negeri Sembilan State Executive Council (MMKN) had no jurisdiction, authority, or power under the Laws of the Constitution of Negeri Sembilan 1959 to announce the proclamation.

“Furthermore, there is no legal basis for MMKN members to rely on the proclamation dated April 19, 2026 for their announcement,” it said.

The SUK office was referring to statements made by Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim to the media yesterday regarding instructions to gazette the proclamation as decided by the MMKN.

“In this regard, the state administration has referred the matter to the State Legal Adviser to ensure that any necessary action is carried out in accordance with current laws and the Laws of the Constitution of Negeri Sembilan 1959,” the office added.

The AGC in a statement last night said the proclamation dated April 19 regarding the position of Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, was invalid as it failed to comply with mandatory requirements under Article 10 of the state constitution.

It also clarified that the Menteri Besar and the MMKN did not have unilateral authority to depose or declare vacant the office of the Yang Dipertuan Besar.

Meanwhile, the Negeri Sembilan Dewan Keadilan dan Undang (DKU) reiterated that Tuanku Muhriz remained the legitimate Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan and chairman of the DKU. — Bernama

森美兰州政府决定不公布或执行 2026 年 4 月 19 日关于最高元首职位的公告，此前总检察署裁定该公告无效。

总检察署强调，该公告不符合宪法要求，州行政委员会无权发布此类声明。

森美兰州议会重申，端姑慕里兹仍然是合法的国家元首。

州政府正在咨询州法律顾问，以确保符合宪法规定。

芙蓉，9月18日——森美兰州国务秘书（SUK）办公室昨晚在一份声明中表示，森美兰州政府不会采取任何行动来刊登或执行2026年4月19日有关国家元首职位的公告。

该机构表示，这一决定与总检察署的裁决一致，即该公告无效，因此任何政府公报均属违宪。

声明称，州政府遵守总检察署的观点，即森美兰州行政委员会（MMKN）成员根据1959年森美兰州宪法法律，没有管辖权、授权或权力宣布该公告。

“此外，MMKN成员没有法律依据依据2026年4月19日的公告进行声明，”声明中写道。

SUK办公室提及森美兰州务大臣拿督依斯迈拉欣昨天向媒体发表的声明，内容涉及MMKN决定在宪报刊登公告的指示。

“对此，州政府已将此事提交州法律顾问，以确保采取任何必要行动均符合现行法律和1959年森美兰州宪法，”该办公室补充道。

总检察署昨晚发表声明称，4月19日发布的关于森美兰州最高元首端姑慕赫里兹·端姑慕纳维尔职位的公告无效，因为它未能遵守州宪法第10条的强制性要求。

声明还明确指出，州务大臣和国家安全理事会无权单方面罢免或宣布最高元首职位空缺。

与此同时，森美兰州议会重申，端姑慕里兹仍然是森美兰州合法的杨迪佩尔图安·贝萨尔和DKU主席。 — 马新社
